Lexmark x2620 and Google Earth on Ubuntu 12.04

[Boudi Luna]

The only thing i can reply to is about the printer.  i used to have a
lexmark printer and most don't work with linux since there's not a single
shred of support.  HP printers have shown to be the most supported but some
models don't have linux support. If i remember correctly, there's a
conference being held to create a driver that all printers can use to be
recognized by linux and have full functionality.

On an activist side, a petition usually works to get a manufacturer to
offer support. Worth a shot.

Good luck!
